Inspirational Quotes About Death - Inspirational Life Quotes

Recently, I have had 6 unexpected deaths in the last 6 weeks. During these difficult times you turn every corner, look under every rock, behind every door looking for answers. Why? How come? Why now? I know I am not alone with unexpected deaths but when death hits the core of your heart and the pain is so deep you need to find refuge in something or somewhere. You can always find a smile in a memory knowing the smile will turn to tears. Although the tears fall softly the memories will be held tightly and securely and that rainbow will soon shine through the darkness. I have found my refuge in reading, praying and staying focused on my tomorrows. I have compiled some of my favorite quotes that I have been reading and studying. I pray these quotes will help others during their difficult struggles.
